Why Brave Leo Matters for Product Managers
Brave Leo reaches privacy-conscious people browsing with Brave, and when they ask what your product does, it paraphrases whatever public pages it can use from Brave Search's own independent index of over 30 billion pages. Product managers own the facts it gets wrong: stale features, old pricing and positioning you have moved away from. Each launch is a chance to correct the record.
The Brave Leo Mistake to Avoid
Looking for a Brave user agent in your logs, or blocking Googlebot for unrelated reasons. Brave's crawler has no separate user agent and follows your Googlebot rules, so a Googlebot block also keeps you out of Brave Search and Leo.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Brave Leo describe features we've changed?
It can only repeat what it finds. If older pages, docs or third-party write-ups still describe the old behaviour, they compete with your current page. Update or redirect the outdated source and make the current page state the change plainly.
How should a product manager check Brave Leo after a launch?
Ask Brave Leo the same set of feature and comparison questions before and after the launch, and compare the answers to your release notes. Where it lags, check that the public page for that feature states the change in plain sentences.
